Recipes FAQ

Can I make blueberry brioche ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the dough and shape it into balls ahead of time. Cover them with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, take them out and let them come to room temperature before baking.

Can I freeze blueberry brioche?

Yes, you can freeze the baked blueberry brioche for up to 3 months. Let them cool completely, then wrap them tightly with plastic wrap and foil before freezing. Thaw them at room temperature before reheating in the oven.

Can I use other types of berries?

Yes, you can use other types of berries such as raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries. Just make sure to adjust the amount of sugar accordingly.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the butter is softened before adding it to the dough to avoid lumps.
  • The dough will rise better in a warm place, so you can preheat your oven to 200°F and turn it off before placing the covered dough inside.
  • Do not overmix the dough as this will make it tough and dense.
  • Brushing the balls with egg wash will give them a shiny and golden brown crust.

Enjoy your delicious and easy blueberry brioche!
